Question:
I have a 2003 Scamp 13 with a Centrurion 3000 power converter/charger inside marking indicates a CS2000XL 8a/20a. I want to switch to a LiFePO4 battery. Is there a direct replacement for the Centurion to charge a LiFePO4 12v 100AH? Or an add on to allow the Centurion to charge a LiFePO4 battery?

Hey Paul, welcome back! There's no direct replacement for your Centurion CS2000XL 8a/20a converter. I have two options for a replacement that will work with a LiFePO4 battery. I have listed them below:
The most comprehensive replacement option is going to be to remove your power center and install the Progressive Dynamics 4000 Series Mini RV Converter w/ Charge Wizard and AC/DC Distribution Panel item # PD4045KA. This will completely replace and upgrade your current power center. It has a 45 amp converter that is compatible with lithium batteries. It measures 12-1/4" long x 8-3/4" tall x 7-1/4" deep.
The second option will reuse your current power center and add in an external converter. I recommend the 45 amp Progressive Dynamics 9300 Series RV Converter Charger item # PD69RR. You'll need to find the breaker that is powering your CS2000XL 8a/20a converter and disconnect the wires of the converter from that circuit breaker. From there you'll need to run a new outlet on its own circuit breaker to wherever you plan on installing the item # PD69RR. It will not mount inside your power center.
Do you like to camp off-grid or are you just wanting more battery life?
You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them.
